Administrative Law is recommended as a "core" public law course, ideally taken before more specialized public law courses. It is a prerequisite that must be taken before students are allowed to take Professor Hornstein's new advanced course on substantive economic regulation and deregulation (offered for the first time in Spring 2012 and thereafter every other year).
